Blue Coat, White Coat...
One Vet, Two Vets.
The entrance to veterinary school was marked by a ceremony in which students were given blue lab coats. And today the transition from class work to clinical work was marked by the 'white coat' ceremony, during which the students were given, well, white lab coats.
Now, some people may argue that moving from the third year to the fourth year of vet school isn't really such a momentous occasion as to be worthy of all the pomp and circumstance of a graduation style ceremony, but I don't think the vet school would particularly care about the opinions of those people. And apparently med schools do this too. I guess the equivalent in physics would be passing the prelim exam; but while we may not get a fancy lab coat, we do get a slight raise for that.
In fact, the ceremony was well done and we were stunned by how many families came to watch.
